LINE OF MARY STOUT (BOWNE)


4 MARY STOUT, daughter of Richard Stout, I, was born, I deduce, about 1648, and was married, at Gravesend, Long Island, according to various readings of the records of that town, either Nov. 26, 1665, Dec. 26, 1665, or Dec. 26, 1668, to James, the son of William Bowne.

HISTORICAL MISCELLANY


James Bowne moved from Gravesend and was among the first settlers of Middletown. He died prior to 1697, for in that year his son, James Bowne, took up lands in right of his deceased father. (See Bowne Family).


1675, Nov. 2. As a settler on the Monmouth Tract, prior to 1667, Mary Stout was alloted sixty acres in Middletown.


"James Bowne in right of his wife, Mary Stout, two hundred and forty acres."

LINE OF JAMES STOUT


5 JAMES STOUT, son of Richard Stout, I, was born, by deduction, at Gravesend, Long Island, about 1650.


1675, Nov. 2. As a settler on the Monmouth Patent, about 1667, he received sixty acres of land in Middletown.


1685, Feb. 16. He recorded his cattle-mark, at Middletown, but no further reference is found concerning it.


In 1686, he paid quit-rent on one hundred and forty-two and one-half acres of land, at Middletown.


1690, June 29. Richard Stout, of Middletown, gave land to his son, James Stout, of the same place, that was situated at Romanis or Hope River; and he also gave him five acres of meadow at Conescunk, described as "adjoining Dan. Stout." This is undoubtedly an error, and should have read David, in lieu of Dan, for I have no knowledge of the existence of any such an individual as Daniel Stout at this early date. And an analysis of the lands, deeded by Richard Stout, Sr., to his sons of this date, sustains the conclusion. This error is to be found on page 288, of Volume XXI, of the New Jersey Archives.


1705, Mch. 18. James Stout bought land of George Willocks.


1706, Apr. 6. James and Elizabeth Stout were of Middletown, and, Aug. II, 1707, of Free- hold. Both James and Elizabeth Stout made their marks.


1711, May 8. James and Elizabeth Stout, of Freehold, sold land.


1714, Jan. 29. James Stout, of Freehold, yeoman, and Elizabeth, his wife, for £250, con- veyed to Thomas Williams, of Freehold, yeoman, land, in Freehold, "where James Stout now lives," bounded by David Clayton, Jno. Warford, etc., reserving one-half of an acre of land where John Clayton and his wife are buried, which land the said James Stout bought from George Willocks, Mch. 18, 1705. James Stout and his wife, Elizabeth, both signed by their marks.


1714, Jan. 29. James Stout, of Freehold, yeoman, and Elizabeth, his wife, for £40, sold to John Warford, yeoman, of Freehold, land in said town. James and Elizabeth Stout both signed by their marks.


He married Elizabeth . .... , who may have been the Elizabeth Stout, of Freehold, who was a member of the Baptist Church, at Middletown, in 1712.


There was another Elizabeth Stout, of Middletown, also a church member, at this date. es e two individuals were the wives of James and John Stout.

Whether such a daughter existed or not is problematical.


Patience Lippit, a grand-daughter of Alice Stout Throckmorton-Skelton, married, at Shrewsbury, II mo., 17, 1717, John Woolley. Her marriage certificate was signed by an Alice Skelton, at which time her grandmother was known to have been the wife of Mr. Jones, so that the grandmother either erroneously signed her name Skelton, instead of Jones, or she had a daughter, Alice Skelton.


LINE OF PETER STOUT


7 PETER STOUT, son of Richard Stout, I, was born, by deduction, at Gravesend, Long Island, about 1654, and died, at Middletown, N. J., between 1702 and 1703, for, May 23, 1702, he recorded his cattle-mark which he "had held many years," and, June 9, 1703, in his father's will, he is mentioned as deceased.


1675, Nov. 2. He was granted sixty acres of land, at Middletown, in right of his being a settler on the Monmouth Tract, in 1667.


1690, June 29. He received land by deed from his father, Richard Stout.


330


HISTORICAL MISCELLANY


Peter Stout resided in Middletown, and is reputed to have been very rich, possessed of an excellent disposition, and much respected. He married Miss Bullen, perhaps Mary, if it is she who is spoken of in the will of Richard Stout, I, as the wife of his son, Peter Stout, in 1703. He is reputed to have had a large family who settled in Monmouth County, along the seashore.

9 JOHN STOUT, son of Peter Stout, 7.


1716, Oct. 9. John Stout, of Middletown, yeoman, son and heir of Peter Stout, of Middle- town, deceased, for £500, sold land to Obadiah Holmes, of Middletown, yeoman, on Hop River, and meadow, at Conescunk, which land was conveyed to Peter Stout by his father, Richard Stout, June 29, 1690. The deed was signed by John Stout and Sarah Stout. Witnesses: Re- bekeh Tilton, William Lawrence, Jr., Mercy Lawrence [daughter of Richard Hartshorne, born 1693] and Rachel Clark.


In 1716, Benjamin Stout, 10, an uncle of the aforesaid John Stout, had recently removed from Middletown to Delaware, where a number of families from East Jersey had settled on George's Creek, and it is supposed that they were drawn hither partly by the proximity of the Welsh Tract Baptist Church. Among these were three of the name of Stout:


John Stout, "of the township of Freehold, County of Monmouth, and Province of East Jersey," who bought land there on the north side of Dragon Swamp, May 8, 1708; Samuel Stout, with wife, Margaret, who bought land on George's Creek, in 1720; and "Elizabeth Stoute," who signed the marriage certificate of William Farson and Rachel Vail, in 1719.


The John Stout, whose name appears in Delaware, I believe corresponds to John Stout, 9, son of Peter Stout, 7, though he may be descended from some other one of the older sons of Richard and Penelope Stout. He signed the Confession of Faith of the Welsh Tract Baptist Church, in 1719, and disappears from the records in 1726.


LINE OF SARAH STOUT (PIKE)


8 SARAH STOUT, daughter of Richard Stout, I, was born, by deduction, at Gravesend, Long Island, about 1656. She married, at Middletown, N. J., Feb. 2, 1675, John Pike, of Wood- bridge, N. J., son of John Pike, of the same place. He was born in 1639, and died, Aug. 13, 1714, aged 75 years.


The Pikes were eminent in Woodbridge, N. J. Dally, in his history of that town, says of John Pike, the husband of Sarah Stout:


"The astute Judge John Pike, who having attained the age of seventy-five years, died in August, 1714; whether buried near his father, the distinguished Capt. John Pike, we do not know, as no stone marks the tomb of the elder Pike. Here, however, is Zebulon's grave and that of the third John."

LINE OF JONATHAN STOUT


9 JONATHAN STOUT, son of Richard Stout, I, was one of the younger children. He married, Aug. 27, 1685, Anna, daughter of James Bollen, Secretary of the Province, who died, at Woodbridge, N. J., in 1682. James Bollen's daughter, Anna, and son, James, in May, 1683, selected Samuel Moore and Nathaniel Fitzrandolph as guardians.


1685, Feb. 16. He recorded his cattle-mark, of which no later transfer is recorded.


1686. He paid quit-rent on one hundred and forty-two and one-half acres, at Middletown, N. J.


1698-9. He was Overseer of the Poor of Middletown, N. J.


1703, Jan. 26. John Chapman, yeoman, of Chesterfield, in Burlington County, N. J., sold to Jonathan Stout, yeoman, of Middletown, three hundred acres of land, lying above the Falls of the Delaware, for £65.


1704, Jan. I. Jonathan Stout and Anna, his wife, of Middletown, sold to James Hubbard, of the same place, two hundred and fifty acres of land, in Middletown, and Meadow at Conas- conck, for £328.


The preceding sales and the following purchase were, apparently, made with the intention of moving to the Hopewell district, where, with two other families, he was about to found a settlement in the wilderness.


332


HISTORICAL MISCELLANY


1705, July 20. William Crouch, of London, and William Bills [Biles], of Bucks County, sold to Johathan Stout, of Burlington County, one sixteenth of one one-hundredth part of the Province of West Jersey.


1714, Mch. 12. He and his wife, Anna, acknowledged a deed.


Jonathan Stout and his family were a devout set of people. The first Baptist Church in Columbia village, Township of Hopewell, was organized, Apr. 23, 1715, with Mr. Stout and his family representing eight or nine of the fifteen constituent members. The church was consti- tuted at his house, the meetings were chiefly held at the dwelling of the Stouts, from the foun- dation of the settlement till the erection of a meeting house, a period of forty-one years, and it was estimated that the total membership of the church, from first to last, contained, up to 1790, nearly two hundred of the Stout name, besides as many more of the blood of the Stouts, who had lost their name by intermarriage with others.


In 1790, two deacons and four elders of the church were Stouts, and the late Zebulon and David Stout had been main pillars of the church. The last lived to see his descendants number one hundred and seventeen souls.


In the early career of the Hopewell Church Edwards says that Joseph, Sarah, Benjamin, Hannah, David and Zebulon Stout were reputed to have gone to Pennsylvania for baptism, while the other children of Benjamin Stout, viz., Samuel, Jonathan and Ann Stout were bap- tized in Hopewell, although the church books do not give the names.


1722, Nov. 24. Jonathan Stout made his will, which was proved Mch. 25, 1723, and mentioned:


Son, Joseph -


Daughters, Sarah, Hannah, and


Sons, Benjamin, Zebulon, Jonathan and David, to each of whom he gave one shilling.


Son, Samuel, received a negro girl.


Daughter, Ann, received a negro girl.


Executor: Andrew Smith.


The inventory of his estate amounted to £362-2-103/4.


Some of the descendants of Jonathan Stout are reputed to have moved to Kentucky, and the South, about the time of the Revolutionary War.

*Asher Taylor, Esq., the early Middletown genealogist, and Nathan Stout, give the date of Benjamin Stout's birth as 1696, which is wrong, unless the Benjamin Stout, who was born in 1691, died, and a second son was so called. Asher Taylor also gives to Sarah Stout, 11, a husband, Andrew Smith.
